Jones Shows Little Grace With Gaga
-Not so Graceful-
Lady Gaga is a self-confessed fan of the cult icon Grace Jones but it seems Grace won’t be rushing to answer Gaga’s famous telephone in the near future after some scathing remarks about the current Queen of Pop.
The Jamaican-born singer / model / actress was approached by the Pokerface star for a collaboration, but Grace rejected her offer hands down.
Asked about whether Gaga contacted her for a joint venture, Grace replied in no uncertain terms: “Yes, she did, but I said no. I’d just prefer to work with someone who is more original and someone who is not copying me, actually.
“I’ve seen some things she’s worn that I’ve worn, and that does kind of p*ss me off… I wouldn’t go to see her.”
She added: “I really don’t think of her at all. I go about my business. I just don’t play with other acts as a rule.”
Lady Gaga has previously admitted that she is a fan of Jones and described the star as her “Jesus”. MIA and exre-Moloko frontwoman Roisin Murphy have both previously suggested that Gaga mimics their past style – whilst Gaga herself hails the likes of Prince, David Bowie, Madonna, Freddie Mercury and Labelle as her inspiration.
Gaga is on the road with her Monster Ball tour at present which stretches across the calendar year, and you can purchase Lady Gaga tickets from viagogo.
